Death Valley National Park

March, 2008

During our stay in Pahrump, NV we have visited just a small portion of Death Valley.  Gosh this place is hugh.  In talking to one guy that I met, he said that he had drove over 600 miles exploring most of the Valley.  I guess the rest will have to wait to another time. 

The flower bloom is reported to be just "fair".  Nothing like the great bloom of the spring of 2005.  I have posted a few pictures here. 

I have added a new feature to the Blog.  I have added a link to my Picasa Web Albums that has small pictures.   I have done this to make it easier for those that had a "slow" connection to veiw the pictures.  If you have a "fast" connection, I would suggest that you look at the large pictures.
